What is the probability of that childhood epilepsy will return during puberty/adulthood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It really depends on the type of epilepsy. Some you can 'grow out of' whereas others are lifelong. Best is to consult with the neurologist and find out the exact type of epilepsy you have. Then you can discuss the prognosis with him/her.
